G. Course Evaluation and Improvement Processes 1 Strategies for Obtaining Student Feedback on Effectiveness of Teaching Importance of feedback should be first explained. Only then the feedback should be taken. Have a question as to how the teaching can be improved – speed, more problems etc. Still we depend on the evaluation of previous semesters. However, I intend to do assessment at the middle of each semester. 2 Other Strategies for Evaluation of Teaching by the Program/Department Instructor

- Ask the students if the speed of teaching and the approach is helping the students in learning the subject.

- Students are free to report any difficulties to the Head of the department. 3 Processes for Improvement of Teaching

- Review of strategy of at the mid-semester after assessment of M-1 answer papers. - Group discussion and using different ways in teaching (white board, seminars, PowerPoint,

reading, conducting lab works, etc…)


180

4. Processes for Verifying Standards of Student Achievement (e.g. check marking by an independent member teaching staff of a sample of student work, periodic exchange and remarking of tests or a sample of assignments with staff at another institution)

- Independent checking of End-Semester assessment (another faculty member) - Checking of course files by the Quality Centre Nominee and give suggestions for

improvement in writing. 5 Describe the planning arrangements for periodically reviewing course effectiveness and planning for improvement.

- Mid Semester review of Course files. - End Semester review of Course files. - Student feedback at end of the semester. - Feedback of the assessment at the beginning of the next semester. - Departmental meeting at the beginning of the next semester on improvements suggested.
